Adding a second temperature gauge (Corsa B)

Hi,

I've got an extra temperature gauge laying around and I'd like to install it in my car.

My question is where can I install the sensor without changing anything on the car. I want to keep all existing sensor where they are.

Also I don't have a mounting nut, will this be a problem?

I know I can install it on the radiator hose but I don't want to do that, I want a more accurate reading from the engine.

I've got the 1.4L Corsa B (3-door)

Thanks for any help.

There's nothing wrong with the original one. I just want the extra one as extra assurance.

It's a mechanical sensor. If it's an easy job I'll do it otherwise I'll leave it. It's not really necessary and I don't mind leaving it.

I haven't decided where to mount the gauge yet, but I have a place in mind.
